I can't find many places selling the combo set but many retailers offer a price match guarantee. Good value sites I have used are online golf, 118golf, direct golf etc. Maybe see if these sites can match the price of eurozone if you feel uneasy about ordering from eurozone.

This site looks pretty legitimate but doesn't seem particularly cheap to me. Which items were you Looking for exactly? I may be able to suggest other better value sites for you to look at

Just got my TaylorMade Rescue 11 from Golfsmith

I would send it back, no question. -
Lee Westwood to win, Paul Casey will miss the cut unfortunately.

Can I put the same shaft I have in my driver in my 3wood?
walfice replied to jcard71's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Fairway woods are usually heavier than driver shafts but it's up to you. I play the aldila wasabi shaft, it is 60g in my driver and 70g in my 3 wood -
Does this hybrid go further than other hybrids with the same loft due to the longer shaft? I am thinking of getting one to replace my 909h 17 degree but if it is too long it will hit too close to my 3 wood and there will be too much of a gap to my next hybrid

What's a good #4 or #5 Hybrid for a new player?
walfice replied to Cossackred's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Be sure to try out what Adams have to offer, they make hybrids for all levels of golfer. I recently got the original idea pro (peanut shape) hybrids and they are outstanding. -
I have just put my 004 model on ebay. It is a good looking club and feels great but I found it hard to judge distance and wasn't making any putts with it. My last round I switched back to my red x and it felt so natural, I made some putts with it too. After that round I knew the method just wasn't for me. I think part of the reason it didn't work was due to the blade style head, I need a longer alignment line like you get on a mallet to help me line up correctly.
-
Yes they are the original idea pro's with the satin finish. I actually got them for £99 due to a 20% sale this week, I can't wait to swing them, just wondering if they will knock my VR split cavities and 909h's out of the bag. I just got my first ever adams club last week, a fast 10 3 wood. Apart from a lack of feedback I really like it, it's working great for me so far.
-
Has any body played these? I wasn't really looking for new irons but found some pre owned for just £125 so thought what the hell. I'm really looking forward to trying these out, I have been wanting to try the black gold shafts for a while now as well as the idea pro hybrids.
-
I really like the tour d, it is a really good ball all round but the tour is probably the shortest ball I have ever hit with my driver, it just spins so much. I have just played a few holes with the 2011 vapor speed and was impressed, it has a great feel good distance and very good control around the green. Probably the best mid sector ball I have played, it's certainly up there with the NXT tour.
-
I bought a Nike Method putter a few weeks ago, had my eye on one for a long time but I just couldn't get used to it. I played a few rounds with it but couldn't make any putts or control distance very well. My last round I went back to my red x and it just felt so natural. The Method is now on ebay. It's a nice putter with a really nice feel but it just didn't suit my stroke.
-
I am going to switch from playing premium balls to a 2 piece to gain more distance with my irons (see if the extra distance is worth the sacrifice in green side control) for a trial period. What do you recommend? I am thinking of the NXT, Burner or PD long?

Made a strange discovery today
walfice replied to walfice's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
It was about 9*F today, the z-stars stopped within a few feet and the nxt rolled out maybe 10 feet more. I can understand the 2 piece balls going further but not sooo much further, and why not with the driver too? I am going to do some more testing tomorrow. -
I normally play a premium ball (z star or tour D) but found a TM burner and Titleist nxt extreme on the course today. I was just practicing on my own so I was hitting a few balls at a time. I discovered that the premium and 2 piece balls hit the same distance off my driver but the 2 piece balls were hitting up to 20 yards longer with my mid irons. 20 YARDS!!!! I was hitting 2 z-stars against the TM and NXT (obviously, I only counted the balls which were hit consistently). They were 20 yards longer with my 7 and 8 iron and 10-15 longer with my 9 and PW. Has anybody else experienced this? Why is there no difference in distance with the balls off the driver? I am seriously considering a switch to one of these 2 piece balls, the only down side to them is the roll out you get on pitches, but I could quickly adjust to that I think.
-
I tried it when getting fit for my 909 D2. It performed well but did feel harsh or 'boardy'. I play it in my hybrids and it gives me an ideal launch and spin rate, feels a a touch boardy but not enough to make me want to change it, plus, it looks cool lol.

Matching Hybrides and wedges with your irons...
walfice replied to BobbyBoneZ's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Don't worry too much about the loft stated on the hybrid, the important thing is the distance you hit it in relation to your next iron. I play a 17 (2i) and 19 (3i) hybrid and my 4 iron is 24. There is about 15 yards between each club so my gaps are filled nicely with this setup. With a 46 PW you could try a 52/58 setup. I play 47/54/60, there is a 20 yard gap between each of these clubs for me. -
I got a great deal on a new method 004 putter on ebay at the weekend, just £67/$105 still in wrapping from a local pro shop. I have only had chance to play a few holes with it this afternoon (hit a few balls on each green from different distances) so I am still getting used to it but this thing has a really nice soft feel to it and a really nice sound too. The weighting doesn't feel quite as good as my red-x but like I said, i haven't had chance to adjust to it yet. What I did notice is that I was leaving (very) long putts short. From reviews I have read and from message boards most people say it has really helped with lag putting and they rarely leave putts short any more, this surprised me, I'm sure I will adjust to it. Overall it seems like a quality putter and am looking forward to my first round with it tomorrow. I even like the original grip on it (I have heard complaints about it not feeling nice and being too thin)

I see JB Holmes is no longer with cobra. Not much of a presence on tour for cobra nowadays.

I'm going to replace the stock shaft in my driver with a premium shaft, I have decided on a Graphite design tour ad YSQ. My swing speed is around 105 and I have a smooth tempo. The recommendation on the GD website is X flex for anything over 100mph with this shaft. I have never played an x flex before and was wondering if I should go for it or stick with an S flex instead? I know it is best to try them both out but nobody around here has them (or the 909 heads in their fitting carts anymore) and I can get a good deal on one from ebay.
-
I really like watching the shots replayed with the pro tracer, this gives you the exact shape, launch and height of the ball. It's not used enough in the coverage though (imo).
-
What are peoples experience with these shafts? I'm looking specifically at the YS+, Tour AD YSQ and the Aura gold (all mid launch shafts). I would like to upgrade my 909 from the 'made for' diamana BB with a premium shaft and these are reasonably priced (I want to keep costs down). Also, am I right in thinking the titleist BB shaft is a mid launch/spin or mid-low?

Losing distance with new irons???
walfice replied to kpaulhus's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Maybe try get hold of a CB's with an S300 shaft in it and hit it side by side with your X100 CB? -

Looking at the distance you hit your callaways it seems to me the x100's are way too stiff for you. I hit similar distances you hit with your callaways and my s300's are plenty stiff enough for me. There could be other things but without seeing you swing, ball flight etc thats all i can think of. I personally wouldn't go anywhere near x100's with my swing speed at 100-105 with the driver. -
I currently play a 909 D2 10.5 degree with stock stiff diamana blue board shaft which I hit ok (when fitted for it was told the launch angle was a touch low but not too much to worry about), but I've seen a great deal on a speedline fast 10, its 9.5 degrees with a stiff wasabi shaft (£79 / $125, it's listed as used but has just been on display in the store). I have read that the speedlines go pretty high. I am going to the store to hit it, its not an outdoor range, just off a mat into one of those screens which show the ball flight but was wondering if anyone had any experience with both these drivers. Would you expect the speedline to go slightly higher or much higher than the 909?
